Default UNDER HOOD BLANKET

Guys- Is there an aftermarket under hood blanket available to replace the under hood insulation blanket. I've seen pictures of pleated blankets with the
bowtie&crossed flags logo but didn't know if it was a custom job or not.
thanx wade

I figured it helped keep the engine heat from baking the hood after you parked it! The heat my 454 gives off, after I kill the engine actually warms up the garage. I open the hood whenever possible! :mad

There was a vendor at the Del Mar Rod show that made custom blankets but unfortunetly I paid it no mind. Point being yes you can get one custom made and if was me I would find one As CLOSE to the C5 blankets I could find. Their pretty, thin and look decorative versus what came in our cars.
